A few clients have made a similar comment recently to me, along the lines of (best delivered in a style similar to De Niro in the Godfather....)
"Just when I thought I was getting fit, you made it even harder!"
The fact is, to progress in training you have to be continuously pushing your limits. Go to the gym and do the same workout for a year, and you'll probably look pretty similar at the end of the year! Therefore, it is a good plan to change up the stimulus regularly to ensure you keep making progress. This is a concept my clients are only too familiar with!
This is only one of the many benefits of personal training - it's all too easy to forget how hard the workout you are doing now was the first time you did it or overestimate how hard you are working now and stagnate. If you are training with me or any good trainer you will never reach this stage. You can get all the reps with that weight? BAM! More weight on the bar, now do it again! You can do that lunge variation? BAM! We increase the range of motion, slow the tempo, cut the rest or mess with any of the many possible variations to increase the difficulty. Make sure you are always progressing.
